A Column of Nnnsciihi'. BIG CANNING EXHIBIT ASSUMED EDITORIAL There Is u roason for our largo guln in population which has not boon ap preciated yet by most ol us. Wo evi dently ltavo a healthful climato in this valley. Only 38 deaths arc reported In all Lincoln County In three mouths. Hut that is not all. Thoro wore 101 blrtliB roportod in tho sutno length of time. This Is oxactly twice tho numbor of doaths. It must bo tho climato. no;; Ilurdly niiyono Is satlslled with the jprosettt systom of lighting our main Btroot nt night Wo arp contantly ro fcrrcd to somo city of our bIzo which is well lighted in comparison with North Platto. Tho proposition for hot ter lighting is boforo tho Chambor of Commoreo and tho citizons gener ally aro considering what canbo done. Ono Arm hag a proposition which is worth considering. It suggests plac ing monoliths along tho principal streets from Front to Third, covering tho paved district. Figuring six to a. block it would requlro 03 iposts tb covor tho district. Tho monoliths would bQ nont iron posts on concrcto bases with translucent globe at tho top. A strong high-powered lamp in tho globe "would placo tho light high abovo tho sldowalk and without shad ow. Tho" posts would bo sot on tho curbing. Tills plan looks good and if tho cost of Installing wcro borno by tho iproporty holders and tho tenants, it would seem that tho city could maintain thorn. Wo aro open to any (proposition that will givo us a sati lsfactory lighting Bystom at reasonable; figures but something should bo dono The other day as wo wore going ovor to Gummero-Dtnts to got a flno Vlotrola for our wife, a man stoppod u h and asked us which way was East and wo pointed down Fifth street and he said wo wore wrong. Now wo thot wti wore right so wo wont ovor r.nd asked Ed Davis about it. Ed was quito cordial and said for us to como rltht In so wo did. We told him a friend of ours had said that Fifth Strcot doos not go oast and ve know it doos and Wo told him so but Ed said wo wore wrong. Ho said tho town was not straight with the world and wo askod him If ho meant that North Platto was all crooked and he said that ho did not moan that anyono was crooked but that North Platto was slanting. Then ho showed us how tho streets aro a Httlo slanting on tho map and tho Union Pacific Is also a Httlo slanting on tho map llko tho strcots only It don't look slanting at all when you look nt it and It doesn't bother, tho trains any If it Is a Httlo slanting I on tho map. Thon wo said that it must have beon disappointing to tho Union Pacific when It first camo hero to find that it had to go ft Httlo slanting or It would run into tho houses and storos, and Ed said that railroads novor got disappointed but that thoy go whoro thoy want to nnd that tho railroad must havo gono slanting first. Wo told him wo would not quar rol with him as to which wont slant ing first slnco both havo tho habit now and probably would never got ovor It and Ed said that was right and then Ed said that tho man who laid out this town must havo had a bum com pass rtnd wo Bald wo heard of a man who was so hard hearted that his compass wouldn't work right and Ed said ho had never heard of that man but ho had heard of a man who was bo soft-headed that ho couldn't toll when a compass was working right and wo told him wo know of another boforo long.

GETS EVERY POTATO IN THE HILL Our Hoover Potato Digger digs up all the potatoes in the field and piles them in neat rows where they can be handled with minimum labor. Designed and developed to its present standard of excellency by a prominent potato-grower, it has proved to be an especially good in vestment to all potato-growers who have used it. The shovel is of best quality high-carbon crucible steel and shaped so as to gather the potatoes with thc least possible loss. No danger of cutting the potatoes to thc extent; that a plow or hoc does. Stone guards can be used in stony ground. You can raise and lower the shovel while the machine is in motion. All adjustments arc made from the seat by con venient levers. , The vine-separating rear rack has a backward and forward motion that sifts out all dirt and deposits the potatoes in a com pact row on clean ground directly at the rear of the machine, while the vines and trash are de posited at one side. Twelve roller bearings and wide tires on the wheels assure light draft. Patented Double-Action Front Truck per mits the digger to be turned in a very short space. Solid steel frame, strong main sides ot' Bes semer steel, beams of best quality charcoal mal leable castings, and steel chains and hardened steel sprockets that greatly resist wear. Don't fail to see the Hoovor Potato Digger before you harvest your potato crop; its use means greater profits from your potato crop. Wanted Girl for general house work. Phono 38.
